Bahubali

Cross an Avengers/Marvel/DC comics film with Lord of the Rings & THEN make it a musical... presto! Bahubali! It amazes me how SO much drama, comedy, action, & adventure can be put into one epic film (be ready to sit a while or watch in installments - it's LONG, but you won't mind because it SO good) by Bollywood and THEN you get to watch part 2!! Of course, buy BOTH!! "I laughed, I cried, it moved me, Bob" (nod to VeggieTales; yes, I enjoy them too) so if you like Bollywood in general & speak Hindi and/or don't mind reading subtitles (no, it's not dubbed into English), I HIGHLY recommend Bahubali!!!

I knew what I was expecting when I purchased this. I had the quiet joy of seeing Bahubali the Conclusion in a local theater. My only concern was whether or not I would understand it. Silly me. With the simple touch of a setting, the hidden words became understandable. But even without such technology you become immersed into the story through the skill of acting. The haute of the Queen Mother, the pride of a willfull and capable princess, the ease and occasional naivety of the prince, and the sorrow of unwilling and inescapable betrayal. Epic story, lush scenery, engaging characters and a curiosity to see whether things will come to pass.

love the movie first time watching a movie from another culture

I can't review Bahubali like the guys at youtube's BollyFools channel, but I will say I want the sequel out more than AVATAR at this point. I don't want to do a full on analysis on it, because as it says... "Bahubali-The Beginning" and this one is just taylor made for inadvertant spoilers. All I will say is that for lovers of Fantasy, great larger-than-life characters, a complex story, and truly independent strong women watch it now! Yes the CGI isn't perfect in places but it's far better than RA-ONE. Okay, so just relax in the dark and be taken to a world that you want to stay in just to see what will happen next.

I would give the movie 5 🌟 stars.The dvd is not as colorful as on the TV version. I do prefer the hindi version the language flows and sounds nice.Favorite actors besides Prabhus, are Anyska Shetty, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj. Watch over and over. Just stunning. Is one of my top 10 movies.I don't like the English speaking version, because somehow you loose something. A must watch!!

This movie is so ridiculous and over the top, I just love it! I saw it on a plane ride and decided to share it with my friends which lead to many laughs. It's a long move, about 3 hours almost, but is totally worth the watch. Bollywood may not be to everyone's taste, but I recommend this movie as it was my first experience with the genre and I loved it. I say watch with an open mind, a drink or two, and some friends for a good time!

This is a great story line, with decent visual effects and solid acting and strong roles for both genders.My son (14 at the time) and I saw this in the movie theater when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it.It looks like both Holly and Bolly woods are going to have strong competition from Tollywood. It's great to see another strong film production center getting international play.We bought the DVD so he could share it with his mom.The only negative for us were some obvious racial connotations late in the movie. That was a bit jarring to American eyes used to a more balanced multi-cultural experience.

It may have grossed a mountain of currency worldwide, but this computer enhanced tale of Southern Indian make believe is no 'Jodha Akbar".Unless you are tough enough for 40 minute-long blood and gore battle sequences, go for a "Peace Now" march and feel you have fulfilled your human destiny. A classic tale of a throne's heir brought up by villager foster parents, finally finding love and revenge.
